Also, as far as I know "Tassawuf" as a science is for advanced students of knowledge who learn it from a shaykh. So, I don't understand this modern fad of joining a tariqah, " oh masha Allah masha Allah shaykh nazim.." "...oh when I go to kharabsheh I feel a spirirtual high...". Stuff like that?
I don't get it. It's strange because tassawuf without sound knowledge of fiqh and aqidah can be very misleading.

PM Liam_Saiful_Din he might be able to explain it to you insha'Allah
Personally I don't feel comfortable in a Tariqa situation but I do enjoy reading Sufi literature, Iike poetry and such.
